Breakthrough Life Coach for Women's Issues

I received a card from a friend that really touched me. It’s not the first card I have received from this friend, I call Evie. Evie likes to reach out and touch with a card. She seems to have a real knack for knowing when to send a card and how to say the exact thing to encourage and lift your spirit. This particular card seemed to hit a real soft spot with me and was just the word I needed to hear.

A card may seem like a very small thing to send but its impact can be huge nonetheless. Just a few words of thanks or expressions of kindness mean so much. They really do warm the heart; and in a world where real connection with people seems harder and harder to achieve, how we need more people like my friend, Evie and definitely more cards!

Bill Montgomery once said that one of the most important things in life is to decide what is the most important thing? That is sound advice. How many people really do that or take the time to give it any thought? Many of the difficulties we face in life are because we have not taken the time to decide what is really important to us and what we value. Therefore, we do not know what our values are and our life reflects that.

Leadership requires a level head and the ability to act decisively in the midst of pressure and even uncertainty. These days there is plenty of stress and anxiety to go around, especially with the economic concerns and news that we are confronted with on a daily basis. The problem occurs when we never get past the stress and it becomes a way of life.

So how do we stay above it all? As a life coach, one of the things that I am most profoundly aware of is that leaders and go getters are often the worst at taking the time for self-care and life balance. If we are going to go the distance, self-care is not optional but mandatory!

As Bill Montgomery once said, “One of the most important things in life is to decide what is the most important thing.” Values represent the things that matter the most. Values are like fingerprints. Elvis once said, “Nobody’s are the same, but you leave ‘em all over everything you do.”

You can tell what a person does or does not value by the way they treat or even greet other people. You can tell what a person values by the way they dress and how they communicate with others; by the way they handle stress or difficult situations. Maybe a person values peace-making at all costs and totally avoids conflicts. If the person values politeness or courtesy it will show in their behavior. If a person values service for example, he/she will probably volunteer to help others. If a person values honesty or integrity, that person will always keep their word. You can count on good ole Joe or Sarah. They always keep their word.
